Characterization of Arabidopsis Transcriptional Responses to Different Aphid Species Reveals Genes that Contribute to Host Susceptibility and Non-host Resistance
Fig 1
Aphid probing during host and non-host interactions.
(A) Autofluorescence around aphid probe sites, indicated by white arrows, was visualized using laser confocal microscopy. Scale bars 100μm. (B) Aphid colonization of Arabidopsis by Myzus persicae, M. cerasi and Rhopalosiphum padi. Graph shows the mean number of nymphs produced after two weeks on wild type Col-0 plants. Error bars indicate standard error. A Student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis of M. persicae versus M. cerasi progeny (*** indicates p-value < 0.001). Three independent biological replicates were carried out, with 10 plants per treatment per replicate.
